About EV Roaming

EV roaming provides a flexible charging experience within a network of charging station operators, allowing EV drivers to charge their vehicles with any RFID card or app on any network. The technology, which is similar to the roaming option on mobile phones, can be extended across borders and used internationally. EV drivers can use any operators’ station whether they have a subscription to that operator or not, whether they are in their home network or using one abroad.
